|

Prints out the requisite paths of the store expressions

|

a Nix expression are the paths that need to be present
|

in the system to be able to realise the expression.
|
||||
That is, they form the <emphasis>closure</emphasis> of
|

the expression in the file system (i.e., no path in the

<para>
|

The notion of requisite paths is very useful when one

wants to distribute store expressions. Since they form a

closure, they are the only paths one needs to distribute

to another system to be able to realise the expression
|

on the other system.

This query is generally used to implement various kinds

of deployment. A <emphasis>source deployment</emphasis>

is obtained by distributing the requisite paths of a

derivation expression. A <emphasis>binary
|

requisite paths of a closure expression. A

<emphasis>cache deployment</emphasis> is obtained by
|
||||
distributing the requisite paths of a derivation
|
||||
expression and specifying the option
|
||||
<option>--include-successors</option>. This will
|
||||
include not just the paths of a source and binary
|
||||
deployment, but also all expressions and paths of
|

subterms of the source. This is useful if one wants to
|
||||
realise on the target system a Nix expression that is
|
||||
similar but not quite the same as the one being
|
||||
distributed, since any common subterms will be reused.
